There's an explicit exception for caching.
For ISPs, not for individual users or (possibly) corporations.
How about I put on my blog a clause to the effect that this site is copyright and freely licensed to all users, excepting the RIAA, the NZ government and their employees? Then issue takedown notices to the upstream ISPs when I see their IP pop up.

Essentially, they heard the name "Folele Muliaga" in their heads and knew they didn't want to go there
People rely on the Internet for vital life support? Or is that "no-life" support?

How about some online civil disobedience.
How about some offline civil disobedience. Since nearly everyone who works in IT opposes section 92, why don't we all just call in sick on the same day and see what breaks without anyone to fix it..

We could sell space in our numerous volcanos to International Evil Masterminds to build their Lairs.

Say hi to Dr Pitt (aka Jetpilot) for me at Foo Camp.
Also, I find it interesting that you are separating all these geeks from their lovers for Card And Flower Marketing Day. Is this based on a stereotype that no geek is in a relationship??

I favour 4 innings, 8 balls an over and no time limit. With two 30 minute sessions each day, played in the afternoon and separated by a one hour tea break.

but if you do then my business and all of that interest is going elsewhere
But how do they know you won't go elsewhere anyway at some point in the next 25 years. You want loyalty, get a dog. (and other aphorisms).

Also, I read in the DomPost today that banks won't lend to single people without a big deposit. Is this legal - marital status is a prohibited ground of discrimination, isn't it?

David is right.
You wouldn't usually expect to be able to break a fixed rate and remortage to save money. If you could, they would advertise it as having a put option and it would be more expensive to pay for this. (Not to mention that everyone who knows how to calculate just how much more expensive it would need to be has been condemned as an evil banker and made redundant).
But of course, the number one priority for this government is to help the affluent avoid having to sell the bach, SUV or rental property.
